Bike riders !!! Grrrr - things are getting worse up here

[briann532]

I am a cyclist, a regular camper and a 4wd owner/driver.

Below is an example that is not uncommon, 4wd passing on the left side of another vehicle via an occupied 24 bike lane.
Some 4wd "drivers" are obviously less risk to the public when they are on outback tracks !

So that's it then we're agreed.............

There are idiot drivers and idiot cyclists.
The problem is not what they are doing, its their attitude.
These people simply don't care about others.

Whether its an inconsiderate camper, cyclist, bogan, drunk, driver, bad parent, bully, or people who don't use correct grammar  , they are not going to change.

You just can't fix stupid!

Perhaps it's time to move on to "How many camper trailer owners take their bikes camping?" (pushbikes....)

Yeah but is it equal good and equal bad on each side, or is the bad favouring one side over the other

On the defence very quick think your missing the point the way I read it is be respect full don't hold up the traffic like most of those tutu wearing arrogant twats that think wether it is a single lane road or a four lane highway there on a mission to get their café latte and they have the rite to take up the entire road - I too ride quite often and in my thongs tank top and boardies no need to dress like Olivia newton jon on a movie she did in the 70's just to take the kids out doors and try to be a little fitter than would be if I did not but I go out of my way to avoid roads wether it would be travelling 40-100kms along the coast with the bikes on the back or if it is just out the drive cross 3 intersections and do a 30km round trip with out crossing any traffic but I believe even if the law does not the roads are for vehicles not to be held up yes you do come across a slow moving vehicle but majority of the time it would be a bus, truck or tractor and they are there to earn an income not to have there bright multi coloured date stared at by a frustrated motorist and you would find they will pull over to let you through. And with people saying it is a small minority of the cyclists that are in the category I described they too must avoid roads as well because a good 90% of the cyclists I come across are the arrogant twats I am referring to.

Plenty of the same people you described driving bmw's merc's ect that don't even own bikes and thinking they own the road because they paid more stamp duty than the "lesser "mortals when they brought thier showy Shitboxes.

Hey speaking of Lycra adults, has anyone seen that qld gov ad on TV, where they thank different road users for doing the right thing?  They have different ones. Anyway after posting in this thread last night one comes on, and starts with, " thank you mr weekend Lycra for showing us which way you will turn at the intersection".

Thank you mr weekend Lycra! Almost feel off my chair laughing after reading this thread 

[Snow]

Yep, time to move on.  Longest non argument I've read in a while. 

Peace, Love n Mungbeans to y'all.
